Could Mississauga and Brampton officially be splitting up? At a press conference Monday, Premier Doug Ford all but announced that Mississauga will have the ability to separate from Peel Region. This news comes after Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown launched a broadside attack against Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie over separation. How will the region handle a divorce? And does Brampton's mayor have ulterior motives for stepping up his attacks?
Nathaniel Erskine-Smith is jumping from federal politics as Liberal MP for Beaches-East York and diving into the race for the Ontario Liberal leadership. He's the first contender for the role.
Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath are joined by Ontario's outgoing financial accountability officer Peter Weltman to discuss his exit from the role. For the last five years, Weltman has been holding the province to account, but now the office's fate seems to be in the balance.
